I hope someone can help me with this. 

last week I replaced my mother-board (an ASUS PCI/I-P54 TP4) 
pentium bd (triton chip set) with a Micro-Star 5118 (SIS set).
(I had to do this because I had a bad ISA slot in the ASUS board)

I have 2.1.5-REL on a 1.2G western digital IDE drive and now with the 
new board installed, watching my PC boot I see:

wdc0 not found at 1xf0

and a bit later:

panic cannot mount root 

rebooting 

this happens when I try to boot from my hard disk or from the boot
floppy.

I thought that motherboards (with built-in IDE controllers) all had
the same address.

If I have not given enough info here please e-mail me (my news feed is 
not very reliable) and I'll try to provide as much info as I can.

TIA
